Great!!!!!
rating: 5
These headphones have been very useful. The only time they make a little hiss noise is when the battery is about to die. Other than that I would recommend these headphones.

Still a great buy

I've had my HP-CN6's for going on 3 years now. On plane trips they're great at sound reduction. It does indeed reduce ambient noise by 70%. I take the train to work everyday which is extremely noisy. My HP-CN6 reduces those sounds also by at least 60-70%. Now the bad news: They start hurting your ears after 1-2 hours of use since they clamp on your head tightly and the earpads are thin to start with. Once you get use to them, they're not that bad.
Recently wear and tear starting catching up to it after 3 years of heavy use. The Earpads starting to wear down and tear and the wire going into the phone jack is starting to come out (tape is holding it place now). So I starting looking for some new headphones at a similiar price and equal or better noise reduction qualities.
I tried the Sony Noise-Canceling Folding Headphones Model: MDRNC6 at around $46.00 and returned them a day after I brought them. They had very poor noise reduction ability and poor sound quality as compared to my old HP-CN6's which was very surprising and disappointing. I may try Sennheiser's next. So my search continues. Overall these headphones are solidly constructed and offers good noise reduction quality and indeed is worth the buy.

Aiwa Noise-Canceling

Save your hard earned $$$
It's simple "it doesn't work" the best ones I've tried on were the Boss, but they're very expensive. So I'm still waitting on the price to come down.

Good deal for people who like high frequency noise
rating: 1
Ok,
I bought these two or three months ago after a colleague told me that noise-cancelling headphones are very nice when you are on the plane for hours and hours. He spend $299 for his. When this set was on sale for $15 I asked myself what can go wrong - especially when brand Aiwa is behind this.
Here are the reason why I don't like this set:
- very, very annoying "high hiss" (see others people's reviews)
- beside this extra noise I actually noticed only a little reduction of external noise; I tried it on the plane from California to Germany for I would say 2 min (couldn't stand the high hiss for longer), and also in an office with a desktop computer on; I'm not sure if external noise is really reduced or ears now focus on high frequency noise.
- it is not very comfortable due to plastic top
- with "high hiss" off, sound quality is like typical $5 headphones
Hope this helps.

nice for the price
rating: 4
I agree with Watt mentioning there was a hiss..and I think its low-noise cancelling effect is good, not for voices at times.
Music quality was heavy in bass.
Fairly comfortable..its presence is well felt.
Dont understand why its price keeps fluctuating like crazy on Amazon (between $14 and $50)
